Main Pcb; Scale Bases; Analog Load Cell Scale Base; Idnet ™ Scale Base - Mettler Toledo IND560 Guide D'installation

Main PCB

The IND560 terminal's main printed circuit board (PCB) provides the scale
interface for analog load cell or IDNet.
The main board also contains the COM1 serial port that provides RS-232, RS-422,
or RS-485 communication. The port is bidirectional and can be configured for
various functions such as demand output, SICS host communications, continuous
output, ASCII command input (C, T, P, Z), ASCII character input, report printing,
totals printing, or connection to an ARM100 remote I/O module.
The main board also contains the AC power input connections, front panel
keyboard interface and bus connectors for the option boards.

Scale Bases

The IND560 supports two types of scale bases: Analog or IDNet.

Analog Load Cell Scale Base

The IND560 supports this scale type by an analog load cell interface. The terminal
can drive up to eight 350-ohm analog load cells.
IDNet
The IND560 supports the newer T-brick style of high-precision base through the
main board IDNet port. This port provides the +12 volts and communication
required to operate this newer style base. The older K module and Pik-brick cells
require the addition of an adapter board and new power supply (to support the
+32 volt requirement) to the IND560. The adapter board and power supply are
available as an option.
Initial performance and compatibility testing was carried out on the IND560
and the following modules: K15, F15, K32 and T-Brick. Compatibility with
other modules and bases is unknown.
